So my vote goes toward keeping it in. I agree. Even though I have compiled org from git at times, and have been using emacs since version 16 or 17 in the late 80s (I am fuzzy on dates), I have never actually learned the package system. I also look at org files using the built-in emacs on mac, and various other places. So I think emacs should continue to have a stable version of org, but also that it should be relatively easy to install and use a newer version from a packaging system. (It should also be easy to use org from git, but it is; it's just prepending to load path and I've been doing that with no issues for years.) --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAlhWoC4ACgkQH9p66AmO1g6TrQCdFCXw4U10jjVuPyk6X1lCs9w7 4PUAn2tneH+LkRoavX7ze+gJXatm1p2U =2KUe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
